Mold Remediation and Restoration

Local and state laws may require a specific inspection and documentation protocol based on the size of the affected area. We can advise you on this process, providing guidance based on your unique situation.

Mold growth is a big concern for many homeowners and business owners.  There is a lot of fear that people have associated with the possible side effects from exposure to mold.  We have found that the best thing to help with mold growth in any home or building is to find the source of the moisture intrusion that is causing the mold growth.  We have many tools available to us to help find the cause of the mold growth.  We can perform many different types of testing:  moisture readings, thermal imaging, tape samples, air samples, etc.  If the job becomes large enough we may need to call in an Industrial Hygeneist to aid in the mold removal process.

Call us today to help you through any mold issues you may run across.  Our office number is (804)730-6788.

Understanding Mold

Confusion and misunderstanding surround the topic of mold and mold remediation. Some restoration businesses even make claims to remove all mold from a building. This is a fallacy. Mold spores occur naturally almost everywhere, both indoors and outdoors. These microscopic spores float along in the air and can enter a home or business through windows and HVAC systems. Consider these facts:

  • Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
  • Mold spores are microscopic and float along in the air and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
  • Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise, the mold may return.
  • Mold often produces a strong, musty odor and can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
  • Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
